Default TYC headlight/bumper lens pics!

Ok, got a few pics. The ones I took with the headlights on last night came out horrible so no lights on pics.

Stock headlights and TYC bumper lens.


New headlights. It's cloudy so no bling pics



Inside of the headlight while on. Will HIDs fit?

Another close up pic.




With DRL on. PIAA 3157s


I am using the StreetGlow bulbs in the high beams because they are cheap and give that blue color when off and it matches my PIAA DRLs. I use the PIAA GTX bulbs in the low beam. I am not sure if I like them better than my usual PIAA Extreme Whites though.

I think the headlights look better in person.

Looks sweet!! Where did you get the bulbs at? Are the headlights and bumper lenses both TYC?

Looks nice. Where did you order the headlights? I have been wanting to upgrade my headlights to bring out my grille and clear corners but I didn't like how dim my projectors were. I may have to look into getting the TYCs, they look really pimp on your truck.

Thanks guys.

Both lights are from TYC. Except the top pic which I have stock headlights.

I get the bulbs and the TYC stuff from my shop so the prices are not what you would see normally. I'd say if you can get the headlights for $120 you'd be doin good. The bumper lens may go for about $50.

The StreetGlow lights retail for $30 and the PIAA 3157s are like $25. The PIAA headlight bulbs are $90. If I didn't get em at cost I probably wouldn't run them. LOL

F8L,

Do you think that a 2" HID capsule would fit in there?? My capsules are just a bit longer than a 9005 bulb.

I'm really not sure buddy. What is the length of a stock bulb? If the HID is not much longer then it should fit. How is the heat on those things though?

Compared to how warm the housing was with a normal halogen on, the HID's run real cool. I did measure, a 9005 bulb from the base to the little tip on the bulb was a **** hair away from 2". My capsule measures out at like 2 1/8". I guess I can give them a shot and see what happens.

Can you take a side shot of you clear corners. I want to see a shot from the side. Not sure how it looks with the reflector in it. Notice if the headlights are brighter with the new TYC headlights from the stockers?
